xsl call template with variable

David Carlisle answered an almost identical question today on this very
list. Did you just join? Either way, it's a FAQ candidate.

Here's David's message again:

You can't do that. The name has to be a `qname'. Variable values are never
qnames. The value of your $v1 in this case is a result tree fragment
consisting of a text node with value `called' that is not the same as the
name called. For similar reasons as select="called" isn't the same as
select="'called'".

You have to do
<xsl:choose>
 <xsl:when test="$v1='called'">
   <xsl:call-template name="called"/>

So your input should cause trouble for any xsl processor.
